What the numbers say
- Windsor County's rent is 0.6 times the Vermont average and 0.3 times the US average.
- It is the lowest of the 10 Vermont counties NASS published for 2026.
- Since 2010 it has risen 14.3%, from $35 to $40 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Windsor figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, in 2019 and 2025 it combined Windsor into "other counties", and NASS had no figure available in 2008 and 2009. Nothing is filled in.

What this measures
NASS asks farm operators what they pay in cash rent per acre, separately for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland and pasture. State figures come out at the end of July; county figures follow in August. When too few farms in a county answer, NASS combines that county with others and publishes one "other counties" figure, so some counties have no figure of their own.
